Groups that have taken Sart in pre- vious years point out that while- there is real enjoyment for participants and spectators, yet of even greater Im- portance is that this experience is a real step in education. It teaches some of the fundamentals in community leadership and illustrates the value of developing local community enter- prises. Most of the player groups are using first-rate plays; some of them selecting classic vehicles usually at- tempted only by experienced amateurs. This enterprise is under the general guidance of the Luzerne County Agri- cultural Extention Association and is one phase of the program in rural re- creation.

Hartwell Analyzes Water Situation For Taxpayers’ Group” as can secure an adequate water supply for household consumption. fire protection and sewage disposal only through the construction of a nearby reservoir and drillimg of new wells is the opinion of C. L. Hartwell. engineer, who addressed the meeting of Dallas Taxpayers’ Association on Monday night in the high school audtiorium. Mr Hartwell. whose home is Shaver- appointed bv the court in the recent cussed the water situation here at length taking into account the present water supply. tonographv of the region and the needs of the present and fu- ture.- He was introduced bv Cant. C. N. Booth at whose invitation he attended tis meeting. which was attended by local citizens and many from sur- rounding communities who are inte- rested in’ an adequate and pure water supply. Present Sources Present sources for Dallas borough. said Mr. Hartwell. are wells and re- ervoirs, There are three main wells Spencer and Parrish. the ‘proper attentio- these wells can furnish a pure supply of water, | (but under no condition are they ade- | use and fire piotection. The water gd throughout Dallas include. Some which were laid as lon time. According to government figures the average life of a water main is | about thirty years. Population Needs ‘According to the 1930 census Dallas had a population of 1.188 persons. Wa- ter companies figure that an everage of fortv gallons of water a day is the requirement of every person for do- mestic comsumotion only. This means that Dallas must have 48.000 gallons of water a dav. Any n'an for the im- prove~ant of the water supply should be taken isto account the needs of the that time. accordiaz to ~overmental | figures, Dallas will have ~- estimated population of 2.800. because of the ra- pidly erow nature of the community | the ponulation will pr~*-blv be far in excess of this figure and the need for a =reater water --—pply will be much greater than it is todav In order to receive anv reduction in fire insurance rates a community the size of Dallas must have a reservoir capable of fur- nishing 1.000 gallons a minute for a five hour fire. before the underwriters will recognize it. This means a storage with a capacity of 300.000 gallons. Available ‘Sources of Supply Because of the elevation of Dallas the possibilities of piping water from nearby lakes or reservoirs are remote and expensive. The sea level of Dallas is higher than Huntsville, Harvey's Lake and Ryman’s Pond. North Mountain is the nearest place where a reservoir can be constructed to run water into Dallas by gravity. Since the distance is about ten miles the cost of such a project would be prohibitive. The quantity of water about Dallas as well ‘as the quality is very good and additional wells can be drilled and re- servoirs constructed at moderate ex- pense. : Suggested Solution Mr. Hartwell believes that the so- lution to the present water situation lies in the deveropement of new wells in the immediate region of Dallas with installation of pumps and the con- struction of a storage reservoir in the Parrish section of the borough. Bring- ing into play his experience with the Conyngham township water situation, Mr. Hartwell said that township con- structed a 100,000 gallon storage re- servoir at a cost of $5.600. He believes a storage reservoir which would meet the needs of Dallas would cost about $12.000. Construction of such a reser- voir with replacement of certain water mains and drilling of additional wells with the installation of pumps would furnish Dallas with an adequate and pure water supply for vears to come. eneral Discussion talk a committee of women who had recently visited the ‘Spencer well re- ported that they found the reservoir in anything but a sanitary condition. They reported disagreeable odors ema- nating from it and the general sur- roundings dirty and poorly kept. The belief was also expressed that the water supply was responsible for the illness and attacks . of dysentery among. children of the community dur- ing recent weeks.
